Once, all the people were worshipping the Lord in a temple during Ekadashi. At night, a hunter visited the temple who was hungry. Since there were a lot of people in the temple, the hunter could not steal any food. He had to worship the Lord with others. In the morning, all the people including the hunter went back home.

After a while, the hunter died because of some reason. The hunter had kept Amla Ekadashi fast unintentionally that night. Hence, all his sins were eliminated and he was born as a prince. Once the prince was surrounded by dacoits who wanted to kill him. The dacoits used weapons to hurt him. However, all their weapons starting hurting themselves. All the dacoits were killed by their own weapons.

There was a revelation at the same time. The prince could hear the voice of the Lord telling him that Lord Vishnu would always protect him. This was because he had kept Amla Ekadashi fast. Since that day, the prince was completely devoted to Lord Vishnu and dedicated his whole life towards him. In the end, he attained salvation.
